Abstract
A proximity sensor comprises a light emitting element configured to emit light; a synchronization signal input unit configured to be input with a synchronization signal which is output from a display device and which indicates a rewrite timing of an image displayed on a display screen; and an emission controller configured to control emission of the light from the light emitting element, wherein the emission controller is configured to cause the light emitting element to start the emission of the light at a start timing set based on the rewrite timing at which rewriting of one of a plurality of scanning lines of the image is caused to start in the specific display region, and an emission time of the light from the light emitting element, and the emission controller is configured to cause the light emitting element to end the emission of the light before the rewrite timing comes.
